This morning I had the pleasure of chatting to a living descnedant of Dr. Kelburn King, the Stephenson’s family doctor, who treated Robert D’Onston Stephenson at Bridlington. The gentlemen offered the following, “It was well known that King got a message to leave Hull in a carriage bound for Bridlington to treat the son, who had been injured in an accident, but what we always thought weird, was why leave Hull, when there was medically trained staff at Bridlington, who could have done the job” What a fantastic question, and strange that this meeting wasn’t even planned, but we bumped into each other at a local archival centre! |
